The Battalion
With Christmas just around
the corner, children around the
world have one thing on their
minds — toys.
People who have surpassed the
age when a toy was the top item
on their wish list can satisfy their
need for a little fun thanks to the
movie Toy Story.
Set primarily in the bedroom of
a rambunctious boy named Andy,
Toy Story looks into the other side
of life in the toy box. The toys in
Andy’s room awaken, hold meet
ings and play games while the
boy is gone.
Toy Story marks what could be
a new era in animated feature
films by being the first to be com
pletely created by computers.
With a toy posse ranging
from the likes of Mr.
Potato Head to a deli
cate and somewhat
wimpy Tyran
nosaurus Rex, Toy
Story lets viewers in
on the secret life of
toys. Headed up by an
old-fashioned, pull
string cowboy named
Woody (Tom Hanks),
the toys deal with the arrival of
a new toy —Buzz Ldghtyear
(Tim Allen). Lightyear’s plastic
gadgets, annoying beeps and
digitized voice have the toys in
awe and Woody insecure.
Banished by the other toys
when he is accused of pushing
Buzz out the window, Woody
decides the only way he can get
back on his friends’ good side is
to find Buzz and bring him
back safely to the room. And so
the outdoor adventure of the
two toys begins.
Toy Story is the most creative
film to come around in a long
time. The characters and voices
are matched perfectly, creating
the most likable cast of any ani
mated feature. While many ani
mated films have one or two
main funny characters. Toy Sto
ry fills the screen with countless
hysterical personalities.
Toy Story is an entertaining
look at the double lives of toys
and a heart-warming story of
the importance children place
on toys.
The one word that can
adequately sum up Toy
Story is fun.
With action sequences
as turbulent as a Die
Hard scene and dia
logues combining the hu
mor of Hanks and Allen,
Toy Story is a non-stop,
laugh-a-minute riot.
There are no dull mo
ments throughout the
film. Whether it is Woody
and Buzz tangled in a
pointless argument or Mr
Potato Head going on
about his body parts, the
laughter never stops.
It is the comfort a
toy provides and the
trust a child puts in
a toy that make the
premise of this
movie universal. It
is the creative
glimpse at a toy’s life
outside of a child’s
grasp that makes it
truly unique.
The Beatles are back
to old backward tricks
LONDON (AP) — Kcab era
seltaeB ehT. The Beatles are
back — backwards?
Nearly three decades after
fans thought Paul was dead, a
BBC producer said the three
surviving Beatles are again
recording secret messages back
wards into a song.
Simon Clifford said he heard
John Lennon say “Turned out
nice again,” backwards at the
end of the Beatles reunion num
ber “Free As A Bird.”
Clifford first noticed the
phrase while watching the
video, which concludes with a
man in 1940s dress mounting a
stage and playing a ukulele. The
song closes with a ukulele.
George Formby, a popular
ukulele-playing music hall co
median from England’s north
— like the Beatles — used to
end his act with the phrase,
“Turned out nice again.” Form
by died in 1961.
“I regard it as being very
spooky, almost like a subliminal
message to fans,” Clifford told
listeners Friday.
The Beatles’ use of tapes
spooled backwards on songs like
“Tomorrow Never Knows” (1966)
and “Because” (1970) prompted
rumors of secret messages.
Fans argued over whether
what sounded like “I buried
Paul” on “Strawberry Fields
Forever” (1967) and “Turn me
on dead man” on “Revolution
No. 9” (1968) were clues that
Paul McCartney had been killed
and replaced by a lookalike.
Spokesmen for the group or
for the recording label EMI
could not be reached over the
weekend for comment.
Williams does not
mind controversy
RADNOR, Pa. (AP) — Vanes
sa Williams, no stranger to racial
and sexual controversy, is un
daunted by her role in the TV re
make of Bye Bye Birdie as half of
an interracial couple.
The singer and actress said
she took the part because it deals
realistically with the family prob
lems created by the couple’s
racial differences.
Williams was the
Miss America
in September
1983 but re
nounced her ti
tle nine
months later
after Pent
house maga
zine printed
nude pictures
of her.
She stars
in the musi
cal with Ja
son Alexander, who pis
George on Seinfeld.
“When it comes to Jason
me kissing at the end, well
the people who hate interra;
couples, get those letters read)
